The Orlando Fire Department dive team began their search of the lake, which is near Orange Blossom Trail and Ventura Boulevard, before 5 a.m. after a canoe capsized.

Six other people who were in the canoe swam to shore. Officials said Danny Diaz drowned.

None of the boaters were wearing life vests, according to fire department officials.

Survivors told officials they were leaving the beach near the Parliament House and going back across the lake to a house when Diaz readjusted and fell overboard. Diaz couldn't swim, friends told officials.

Heavy fog prevented a helicopter from helping rescuers in their search.

Diaz was taken by ambulance to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
